CHAPTER VIII. 
LIST OF PARASITES ACCORDING TO HOSTS. 
In the following list of insects affecting domestic animals no attempt 
is made to enumerate such as lead an independent existence and make 
their attacks on a great variety of animals. 
The mosquitoes, flies, bugs, ticks, etc., which have no definite host 
could be included under almost every species. 
The only exceptions made are in cases where species of special 
importance have a decided preference for certain animals, as the horn- 
fly and cattle tick for cattle. 
Further, the list is intended to be a key to the species treated in this 
work and not to enumerate every species that has ever been recorded 
on any species of animal.
